This was very useful information. I will use it as a reference for some time to come.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous Marthina!
ReplyDeleteI will pass it out to all my neighbors ;) , cause they REALLY don't get it!
Glad you guys liked it! I was afraid it was going to sound something like making a pie. One cup of sugar, one egg, yadda, yadda.
ReplyDeletePippin, I hope your neighbors get the message!
Again... Wonderful article Marthina! I'll repost what I posted on facebook...
ReplyDeleteI think it's great Marthina! Something that the general public needs. Now can we collaborate on an article about being courteous to others when out walking your dog? I've got a neighbor who walks both of her big rude and snarling dogs at the same time, one of which will literally drag her and the other dog across the 'yard' to get to another dog. Twice now he's dragged her into my breezeway in effort to get at the dog on the end of my leash.

Looks wonderful, love the pix for added clarity. I'm def going to be referring people to check this one out. Good work!!!

ReplyDeleteAnd Kat I'll get to work on the neighborhood dog walking manners book! :)

Marthina, I'm actually going to be printing out some information for the management here to pass out to residents, kid & dog safety / dog bite prevention stuff. There are SO many little ones around here that don't know not to just rush up to a 'doggie', and there's one woman here who has (through her own fears) taught her children to run from dogs. Would you mind if I condensed this intro information to add to my 'package'? And I'd be more than happy to work with you on the dog walking manners book too. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Go for it.

Excellent advice. True- too often we don't let our dogs act like dogs. This was a good refresher on the right and wrong way to introduce. Thanks!
